"Um?"

Xu Jie looked at the people behind Zhang Juzheng. Those people were representatives of the six major families in the southeast of the capital. When they saw Xu Jie looking over, they each took out a letter and placed it on the table in front of Xu Jie. Xu Jie picked up the letters and looked at them one by one, and his frown brows slowly unfolded.

The content in my heart was very simple. This time I objectively explained the whole story of this incident, allowing Xu Jie to learn that the two officials Luo Xin killed were really corrupt officials, and the hundreds of people killed were really people from the six major families and pirates. In this matter, I could not sue Luo Xin at all.

When Xu Jie saw this, a sudden burst of anger arose in Xu Jie's heart.

What do these six major families want to do? Then I am a gunman?

At that time, when he saw Luo Xin secretly gave Hu Zongxian 500,000 taels of silver behind him, his brows stretched out and a smile appeared on his face. But then he restrained his smile and asked in a narrow voice:

"Did Luo Xin really give Hu Zongxian 500,000 taels of silver?"

“It’s true.”

Xu Jie nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, and sat there and entered into thinking. Zhang Juzheng said softly:

"Teacher, are we impeaching Luo Xin again?"

Xu Jie raised his eyes and shook his head slightly and said, "No, let all of us write a memorial to impeach Luo Xin. We will wait for Luo Xin's money to be sent to the capital before impeaching him."

Hangzhou.

In the manor outside the city, Tang Zhuang, who was welcomed by Luo Xin, is now an important figure in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the world. He not only brought up a group of old brothers, but also recruited a group of masters to be escorts in the world. This time, he came, on the one hand, sent more than 2,000 veterans to Luo Xin again, and on the other hand, he sent 189 scholars to Luo Xin. These scholars were all bought from the exile place with money, with a clear price of 5,000 taels of silver for each person, and a total of 945,000 taels of silver for Tang Zhuang. This is not counting as people feeding horses, but there are also 1 million taels of silver for a total of 1 million taels of silver.

There are also recruiting various craftsmen from all over the country. After asking for 100,000 taels, the escort agency was almost paralyzed when it was spent like a one-hundred-thousand tael of silver. So Tang Zhuang had to come, and he wanted to ask what to do in the future of the escort agency?

Luo Xin was happy to see more than 2,000 veterans, 189 scholars, and more than 800 craftsmen. Especially the more than 800 craftsmen, the escort agency secretly dug up the shipbuilders from the court and secretly sent their whole family to Luo Xin's manor.

Luo Xin arranged these people in the manor respectively. He first met the more than 2,000 veterans, who came from thousands of miles from the north. They had all met Luo Xin and participated in previous battles hosted by Luo Xin. They had a blind admiration for Luo Xin, so when they saw Luo Xin, everyone was very excited. Luo Xin looked at these people and felt more confident. He had already handed over to Luo Sheng nearly 4,000 veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, plus

Luo Sheng's five hundred men have exceeded 4,000 veterans who are good at fighting, as well as pirates who are subdued by Luo Sheng. Luo Sheng's current military strength has exceeded 8,000. With more than 2,000 people today, Luo Sheng's military strength has exceeded 10,000. With this more than 10,000 troops, he can completely sweep Taiwan Island. Luo Sheng also captured more than 10,000 pirate families, and these people are fully able to teach Taiwanese native farming. It can be said that Luo Sheng has the confidence to build Taiwan.

"Everyone!" Luo Xin's tone was excited: "Before you come here, you should not know where I asked you to go and what to do. However, you came here without hesitation. I thank you all for your trust."

"I wish to follow the marquis and go through fire and water, and never give up." More than two thousand people shouted in a low voice.

Although the voice was low and could not be heard outside the manor, it could still be heard inside the manor. The 189 scholars couldn't help looking at each other, and a thought emerged in their minds.

"Does Luo Hou want to rebel?"

Luo Hou was a military god in the circle of warriors, and a very high status in the circle of scholars. He was a great scholar. So before these scholars came here, they only knew that someone had spent money to save them, but they didn't know who they were, and they were still uneasy. However, when they saw Luo Xin in the manor and learned that the person in front of them was Luo Xin, they were excited, and it was Luo Xin who saved them.

However, before the excitement calmed down, they heard the call of the veterans, which made them feel uneasy again. Although they were exiled, they were hungry and cold and were subjected to endless humiliation, and were severely damaged both physically and mentally. They also thought about rebellion in their hearts on weekdays. But that was just thinking about it, and they didn't even dare to say it out. Now they realized that Luo Xin was going to rebel, which made them feel fearful again.

Luo Xin looked at the more than 2,000 veterans in front of him and said sincerely: "You just know that you will follow me when you come here, but you don't know what Buqi will let you do. Today Buqi will treat you honestly. Buqi will send you to a large island overseas, which is very large. You will conquer the indigenous people there and build your homeland. You may not be able to return to the Ming Dynasty in the future, because I, Luo Xin, and Luo Buqi will build a country there. You will all become founding heroes."

These more than two thousand people were immediately excited. Where to fight, is it not a fight? Following Luo Xin was a founding hero, with countless wealth and glory. As for whether they could be much bigger, these people would not consider it at all, because they firmly believed that they could sweep away the indigenous people.

Luo Xin chatted with these veterans for a while, then left here and came to the garden of 189 scholars. Sitting in front of them, looking at the scholar standing in front of him, with a nervous look on his face, Luo Xin said quietly:

"Dear brothers."

Just this sentence made the 189 scholars' eyes turn red. They have not been called the 1990 scholars for a long time, and the things they lost feel precious. One hundred and eighty-nine people bowed together and said:

"Thank you for your help."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "You can no longer stay in the Ming Dynasty. If someone discovers you, you will be arrested again and will also implicate your official."

One hundred and eighty-nine people showed sadness on their faces. They had already thought about this. When Luo Xin mentioned it, he was not only sad but also panic in his heart. The Ming Dynasty could not stay there, so where would Luo Xin send them?

"Going will send you to a big island overseas, where my cousin is, you go there to help my cousin."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, they had a place to settle down, and they did not rebel in the Ming Dynasty. They had long been worn out in the exile place, and bowed to Luo Xin again and said:

“Thank you sir.

"You..." Luo Xin pondered for a moment, "After you go there, you will build a country like that."

The scholars were shocked. Although they calmed down, they were not considered rebellion, but rather established a country. Then they became excited again, and they were also considered founding heroes.

Looking at their excited expressions, Luo Xin's heart was relieved again, which proved that these people's hearts were not dead yet, and they still had ambitions and *, so that they could ensure that they would do their best. However, Luo Xin did not want the country he had worked hard to establish, like the Ming Dynasty, to inevitably decline and perish. In his opinion, not only the Ming Dynasty, but all dynasties in history had one thing in common, and one of the main reasons for the destruction of each dynasty, that is, tax exemption for the powerful.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, after passing the imperial examination, anyone can enjoy a tax exemption policy, and the land they own does not have to be paid. Therefore, a large number of farmers take the land to join the imperial examination. As time goes by, there will be more and more juren in a country, and in the end, there will be more and more land exempted, and the country can collect taxes. In this way, more and more levies will be imposed on farmers, forcing farmers to have no food, and then rise up, and an empire will fall rumbling down.

Of course, Luo Xin would also attach importance to commercial tax, but in this era, agricultural tax was the main body that cannot be ignored. If you want to completely replace agricultural tax with commercial tax, business still needs to develop. Therefore, Luo Xin must tell these scholars about his decisions now, in case after they arrived in Taiwan, Luo Sheng did not understand these, and was fooled by these scholars and completely copied the policies of the Ming Dynasty.

"I want to ask you a question. I hope you can answer me seriously, which is also my assessment of you! My Luo family does not support idle people. If some of you are not capable, even if you bring you to Taiwan Island, you will only be like ordinary people and will not be able to get my appointment." Luo Xin said in a narrow voice.

These 189 people were shocked. They finally rescued from the exile place by Luo Xin. If they had not been Luo Xin, they would have been humiliated and beaten to death within two or three years. Luo Xin was their savior. They had decided to use their lives to repay their kindness, but they did not expect that Luo Xin would give them such a broad stage to make them the founding heroes. Now that they heard that Luo Xin wanted to be assessed, if they could not pass the assessment, they would not even have the chance to repay their kindness, which made them nervous and seriously.

These people also have a competitive mentality. Everyone wants to become an important role in Luo Xin's excessiveness. This requires showing their talents. They can't help but hold their breath and look at Luo Xin.

"I want to ask you, what is the current situation in the Ming Dynasty?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. First, a middle-aged literati said, "Not good."

"Not good!" others nodded and said.

"How is it not good?" Luo Xin asked immediately.

"corruption*!"

"Corrupt officials are everywhere!"

"Literatures are greedy for money, while military men are afraid of death."

"The cabinet of the dynasty is incompetent."

"The emperor is stupid."

“…………”

Everyone rushed to speak, but Luo Xin was full of disappointment. These people were right, but they didn't see the root cause. Or because they were scholars, they also belonged to the vested interests of scholars. People saw other people's problems but could not see their own problems.

There were only three people left in the crowd without saying a word. These three people were nearly forty years old, and were thinking there with their brows locked. They all saw the disappointment in Luo Xin's eyes and knew that Luo Xin was not going to want this answer. At this time, everyone was silent. They also saw Luo Xin's eyes, so they all calmed down. Luo Xin looked at the three people who had not spoken. The three people felt Luo Xin's eyes, and the person standing on the left said in a voice:

"Institution, a country must have a perfect system. Today's Ming Law still has many loopholes, and it is not enough to have a system alone. If the Ming Law can be implemented seriously, there will not be so many corrupt officials, nor so many wrongful cases. Officials often eat the plaintiff and the defendant, and become officials thousands of miles away for money. In the end, it is not the people who want to rebel, but the officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel. Therefore, in addition to the crucial importance of establishing a system, the execution of the system is also very important. Confucianism does not do enough in this regard..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Xin with some concern, because Luo Xin was a great Confucian scholar of a generation, and he was afraid of arousing Luo Xin's resentment. So he paused. Luo Xin was a little surprised. Since the Song Dynasty, the only Confucianism in the world seems to be left, and other schools of thought have disappeared. With such a unified thought, the thinking of this person in front of him is rebellious. Moreover, he said just now that Confucianism has not done enough in this regard. Does he want to speak of the Legalists? This shocked Luo Xin so much that he asked in a voice:

"What do you call sir?"

When he heard Luo Xin call him a gentleman, the man was delighted, which proved that Luo Xin agreed with his words. He immediately bowed to Luo Xin and said:

"Students only lead to their own roots."

"You continue to say." Luo Xin said with a smile on his face.

Fang Zigen was immediately inspired and said with a more calm expression: "If you talk about the law, you still have to look at the Legalists. In fact, since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have been using the laws of the Qin Dynasty, but only a slight addition. But the Legalists are not only powerful in forming the legal system, but their execution ability."

Luo Xin nodded. He naturally knew how important a country's system is, sometimes even exceeding the importance of taxation. However, he did not expect that in the Confucian world, people would think of this problem. It seems that they were really after being exiled to realize this problem.

"Mr. Fang used to?"

Fang Zigen said with a look of expression: "I was in the Ministry of Justice before."

Luo Xin suddenly realized in his heart that no wonder he had a unique idea of ​​the law. However, he asked curiously:

"Mr. Fang, did you have this idea when you were in the Ministry of Justice, or after exile?"

Fang Zigen's old face turned red and said, "It's after exile."
